In season four, Chuck McGill’s (played by Michael McKean) death jumpstarts Jimmy McGill’s (Bob Odenkirk) transformation into Saul Goodman as he takes steps into the criminal world that will put his future as a lawyer in jeopardy.

It could also span the end of his relationship with Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn).

According to the official season four synopsis from AMC, Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) is going to take on a “more active role” as Madrigal Electromotive’s security consultant.
